Site Visit

Hi Postdocs!

We have another site visit planned for all of you. We will be visiting Janssen Labs.

Located on the Torrey Pines mesa at Janssen Research & Development’s La Jolla-based West Coast Research Center, JLABS provides access to modern equipment, facilities and operations management - thereby enabling new companies to focus on their research. Companies are able to save capital funds and eliminate facility construction and set-up costs, therefore, reducing the time to get operational while gaining access to the benefits of a class A corporate R&D facility.
